Blogging From The Living Room

I am blogging from my brand new laptop whilst sitting on the couch. It is so wonderful not to be stuck in the computer room when I want to be online. I have upgraded from a 5 year old desktop with 384MB of RAM with a 40G hard drive to a new laptop with 4G of RAM and 250G hard drive. It is a huge change.

I have installed Firefox and Thunderbird so that I don’t have to use any Microsoft products when I am surfing the web and using email.

Any suggestions of must have programs that I should install? I have 250G to fill so I am not going to run out of space any time soon.

Ahhh…the joy of a laptop. I will admit that I spend most of my day at my desktop Mac (on the very, very messy desk). But from time to time throughout the day I need a break. So then I pick up my iBook and watch TV from the couch while internettin’. It’s all good. I’ve promised myself that this week, while the hubs is away that I’m going to do the coffeeshop thing at least once – not that I can’t do it when he’s here at work, I just don’t for some odd reason.

Very nice. I really need an upgrade, but need my Good Green Business to pick up a bit before it happens. I have been thinking of converting to Appledom, but don’t know if my oldish brain can handle it. I love Firefox and TB. Here are some links my friend sent me for TB add ons. Great for the calendar and other things. First you need to download Lightning;http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/
